Robert Garcia, set to become oversight chair, vows to take on president while Senator Ron Wyden signals ‘subpoenas’
Robert Garcia, the Democratic congressman set to become the next chair of the oversight committee of the House of Representatives, had two words for Republicans on Tuesday evening: “Lawyer up.”
Garcia issued his statement as a blue wave appeared to take hold across the country after voters cast their ballots in the US midterm elections. Democrats retook control of the US Senate, and are widely expected to do the same in the House.
Ron Wyden, the Democratic senator poised to lead the Senate finance committee, also flexed on his potential future authority. “Subpoenas,” Wyden wrote on X.
With the Senate and House back in Democrats’ control, Garcia, Wyden and other congressional leaders will be able to lead and steer investigations into the US president, his allies and agenda.
As lame as the Biden Administration was, at least they made Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro (Ron Varo) serve 3 months in prison for blowing off their subpoenas, so that’s not an empty threat. Nobody wants to spend a single day in prison, so three months for these cowardly softies will be like a life sentence.
Honestly steven bannon should be in jail for 100 years
